Now to the question if this flawed 20 shows up by itself on the pin with no other mark : the answer is yes -- but hard to find .
To me the double marked pins have original marking dies and I would think they are war time marked . Factory bombed ... did the flawed die survive for some one to use post war ? --- I doubt very much .
The flawed die saved to remark the L/52 marked pins .

Douglas, now I am speaking about the frame of the cross. See post "20" and you will see in a" red zone" that my double marked cross has flaw on the frame. All crosses marked only "20" have not that die flaw on their frame. And when they are marked L/52 (under the catch), no die flaw either. We only find that die flaw on their frame when :
- They are double marked
- They are simple marked L/52 (under the pin).

Yes the flawed beading from post 20 .
One does see worn beading similar to that on crosses of other makers .
Mostly just a worn die ... and to best I can tell ... this seams to be the case here as well .... just a worn die .
It is some what fitting that they are L/52 marked LDO pieces first as they may not meet internal quality standards ?
May have been put away and a demand shortage forced them to be used again and remarked with 20 .... just as a plain guess .
